Interview: DJ Neon Tiger
The winner of the latest Zinken DJ Search, DJ Neon Tiger, is about to bring his massive drum n’ bass sounds to Bed Supperclub. He shares a minute of his time with us ahead of his gig this weekend (Sep 15).
As a child: I was very lonely. Because I was the only male in my family, besides my dad, it was kind of hard to find someone to spend time with. When I would feel lonely I turned to music. I feel like music has been one of my best mates ever since.
First job: I used to run a street clothing label called “Diorama.” I designed some of the products and was also in charge of the marketing strategy. I quit the job when my business partner moved to New York.
Rule for life: Give a lot of love to the people who love you and care about you. Be optimistic and open-minded to what life can offer you.
Happiest moment: When I graduated from Chulalongkorn University. Finally it was over—thank God!
Can’t live without: My family, my friends and cigarettes.
Hum in the shower: I hum along to anything my iPod is playing at that moment. I always put music on loud speakers when I shower.
Musical guilty pleasures: Some of Skrillex’s tunes and “Levels” by Avicii.
Best gig I have ever been to: UKF 3rd Anniversary in London.
Biggest inspiration: My dad. He works hard, plays hard and will do anything to keep his family happy. I have so much respect for the man.
Most annoying thing about everyday life: People who talk too much but don’t know shit... oh, and stupid drivers.
Three words to describe yourself: Passionate, stubborn and aggressive.
In 20 years: I will be married, have two kids and definitely still live in Bangkok. I might be running something of my own and also DJing part-time, if I’m not too old for it.
